Another thing I've been thinking about a lot is this "Thompson is guaranteed to start" thing...
...for one, I don't know that he IS guaranteed to start. I think it's lock that the season will start that way, sure, but will it END that way? I'm not 100% sure of that, OR that he'll FINISH games, especially if POA defense is a problem with that main group the way we think it might be. He's certainly not paid in such a way where it's impossible to imagine him on the bench at times.
And for that matter, neither is PJ Washington. Have we considered how this might look different if Marshall takes HIS spot in the starting lineup? I don't think that's likely, but it's possible.
